    It's hilarious that Kato freaking Kaelin is the most online unhinged baseball fan I think I've ever seen. And for the Brewers of all teams (I never knew he was from WI until this year). Strange world we live in.

    I bet they went back because of the rickets connection. At least the sister seems ok by rich persons standards.

    Man that pic is brutal haha. Baseball might have the highest % of trump fans though. Baeball or hockey I’d think.

    We look bored. Like they can just kind of turn it on when thy need to. I hope they can.

    I'm rooting for Q to have great success. He gets dogged for a trade he didn't make, against guys who haven't even played in the bigs yet. Forget the horsefeathering stupid white sox. I am sure Q is happy to be gone from that miserable organization. They never gave him any run support there anyway.

    I get crazy fired up during games (and pay close attention to the VBs because they're closest) but am usually able to shake off a bad loss quickly. This year has also felt a bit strange in that what I thought was going to be our biggest weapon (starting pitching) has disappointed so we're always playing catch-up. The reason it is easier to shake things off is because the Cubs won the World Series in 2016. It's weird, I might even be more fired up during games than previously but am able to move on, win or lose, more easily. We got the mother of sports championships, full stop. It's still ok to watch out for the VBs.

    JOE MADDON SAID SOME STRAIGHT NONSENSE ABOUT A PLAYER HE SHOULD REALLY HAVE A MUCH BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF BECAUSE IT'S KINDA LIKE HIS JOB OR SOMETHING WHAT NO WAY GET OUT OF TOWN I DON'T BELIEVE IT Haha yeah. Maybe it's Joe's way of saying, "here's a hitter your should be trying to emulate, Javy." Shoot for the moon.

    Manny Ramirez had a 14% career walk rate. Yeah, Manny isn't the best comp but Joe uses it and was just being lazy. I was always worried about his bust potential as a hitter but he's really become a force.
  9. The_Achiever
    I know RBIs are dumb but I still want Javy to get like 130 of them. He's really becoming Manny-esque at the plate.

    Great job by cole and the bullpen.
  11. The_Achiever
    It was awesome watching him yesterday, such a pro. Stark contrast to the anxiety-filled meltdowns we got from Chatwood. You figure Cole is energized going to a contender and my guess is going for one more contract? Looks to me like he's got something left in the tank. And now that Chatwood isn't ruining every fifth day for me I can stop hating him and hope he gets his horsefeathers together. No way do I want this guy taking up a rotation spot ever again, though.
  12. The_Achiever
    What a great move it was to bring Hamels in.
  13. The_Achiever
    Cole has been awesome.
  14. The_Achiever
    I don't follow, was it a money thing or were there other reasons he didn't want to be a Cub? Seems like he and his family really enjoyed being with the organization.
  15. The_Achiever
    I really thought starting pitching was going to be the strength of this team this year. They need to find a way to acquire a real difference maker this offseason. That being said I like the bullpen adds and hope we can squeeze something out of Hamels this year. Would be awesome if he gets on the Justin Verlander contending team rejuvenation plan....
  16. The_Achiever
    Seems crazy that the Cardinals wouldn't trade at least Bud Norris too. Probably one of their square-peg/round-hole position players as well (Jose Martinez).

    BOTE YOU'VE GOTTA BE [expletive] ME
  18. The_Achiever
    Really like this, wanted one more starter to throw into the mix.
  19. The_Achiever
    Is that Ricketts there in the front row? LOL.
  20. The_Achiever
    Braves comeback. Most improbable, crazy weather. Probably has to be #1 Today. Bote emergence has been a fun ride. We also might have passed Tyler chatwood like a stone. Heyward granny was awesome. It's finally good (great) to be a cubs fan.
  21. The_Achiever
    They're not wrong.
  22. The_Achiever
    He's like a bad penny.
  23. The_Achiever
    This game has been cool. A cubs jerk off session on a night with no other sports.
  24. The_Achiever
    They should go get Degrom.
  25. The_Achiever
    That was weirdly played by dex.
